Any place that sells a Muffaletta is tops in my book. But that's part of the fun when going someplace new. You get to try all sorts of new foods you never did or local specialties. New Orleans is a great place to eat. And unless you're on a tight budget there's no excuse not to visit even some of the more commercial and touristy of places. Like Café Du Monde. While it relies on it's name to get people to show up and there are better places to visit for your coffee and beignets, if you've never gone you need to go. Although Russtard won't go there because they don't sell coffee flavored frou frou drinks.
This guy really doesn't get it does he? Movie studios aren't interested in 15 minute teasers for potential movies. Unless you're a big name star and the project is Deadpool or something. You send in your script, they have some underlings read it and if they deem it worthy they'll give you a call.
And if, by some miracle, it gets picked up and green lit I would hope instead of buying it they tell Russtard it's going to make millions and he should accept a percentage of the net profits. The joke of course being that "net profits" don't exist in Hollywood that's why you always ask for a cut of the gross. It's like David Prowse, the guy that was in the Darth Vader suit, was promised a percentage of the net from "The Empire Strikes Back". A movie that cost something like $30 million at the time and grossed over $300 million. So taking into account advertising and all the incidental costs, that would mean it made $225 million in profit. And yet every month until the day he died he got a letter from 20th Century Fox saying that the movie had yet to make a profit and he was getting no money.
Yeah but Neil is all kinds of awesome. His movies are terrible, the actors are the best he could get from Craigslist and yet he's so... earnest about the whole thing that you can't help but love his work. Pipsqueak wishes he had a fraction of Neil's popularity and drive.
